"What am I talking about? The Mosul 19.   For the unenlightened, or those who may not have already guessed, this recent lead paragraph from the Clarion Project sums up the situation fairly simply: '[ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate] executed 19 women in Mosul, Iraq for refusing to sexually submit to the terror organization's jihad fighters, according to reports by the Kurdistan Democratic Party in the city.'   Now I know every women's rights activist group is going to be up in the air about this, and there will no doubt be marches and calls for the elimination of ISIS worldwide, and especially here in America.   Besides, religion is involved -- and we know how anti-religious many of these groups are.   Here is a summary of the root cause of the situation..."

8 great leadership moments from GOP debates
"...While most of the public and pundits were looking for winners, I was looking for a leader of leaders, and for one trait in particular in him or her: the ability to bring unity to our very diverse country and lead us all forward.   What that means for me is that the right and best leader is not going to be someone who merely tags the best one-liner or even gives the best ideas.   He or she is going to be the one who pulls out the best in others..."

Mark Levin: Fox hosted a "National Enquirer" pseudo-debate, a publicity stunt
"Levin asserted, 'I think that we were all duped.   The fact of the matter is that this was a ratings gambit.'   Levin spoke to the program's host, Breitbart News executive-chairman Stephen K. Bannon on the phone, while riding a train to a book signing event in Huntington, Long Island for his latest best seller, _Plunder and Deceit: Big Government's [Abuse] of Young People and the Future_.   Levin claims that 'We the people' were over-looked in the debate, and the event became a media spectacle with more emphasis on the show's moderators than on discussing the important issues that face America.   'Even today, it's all about who has Megyn Kelly's back.   We the people, this is our process.   We don't get that many opportunities to go through the primary process.   There are only 9 debates.', he said.   'The Great One' pointed out that Fox had an opportunity to host one of these important debates, 'And they took advantage of us, they took advantage of the audience.'   Levin explained that Kelly's 'question two', accusing Donald Trump of making inappropriate comments to Rosie O'Donnell and others, 'was outrageous'.   Levin suggested that Fox went to great lengths to engage in 'oppositional research' on Mr. Trump.   'This isn't a matter of who I support but a matter of basic fairness and what a debate is to be like.', he clarified.   Levin complained that Fox sifted through 185 shows and 14 seasons of Trump's Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice to come up with 'a line'...   The conservative author expressed sincere disgust...   Levin said that Kelly was a 'lawyer, she was law review, and she should know better'.   He admitted that he blames Fox News management more than Kelly for the outrageous question.   He said Fox turned the gathering into a 'National Enquirer Debate, and not a Republican Debate'...   'I considered it an [abuse] of the process, which is supposed to inform the American people.   Not gotcha questions, not gossip...   I think the American people are owed an apology.'...   Levin described the debate as a failure to address the two hundred trillion that America faces in unfunded liabilities, the bankruptcy of the [Socialist Insecurity Abomination], the fact that Medicare and Medicaid are on the brink of collapse, that our educational system costs a trillion dollars a year and is a 'complete failure', our immigration policy is a disaster, the EPA is destroying our economic system, and that our Constitution is being undermined.   Levin rebuked Fox for wasting time on 'pardon the phrase—trumped up stuff.   To me it is such an outrage what took place.   And it was planned.   The questions were planned.   I am very troubled by it, too...   People tuned in to watch the candidates debate, not to watch Megyn Kelly...   I'm sick and tired of the dumbing down of very crucial issues...   We know this country is going over a cliff, and we want to do something about it.'..."

Obummer dishonestly claims that Netanyahu offers no alternative to Obummer's corrupt treaty to help Iran develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems
Dave Boyer: Washington DC Times
"In Netanyahu's speech before congress in March, he outlined his alternative:   'We can insist that restrictions on Iran's nuclear program not be lifted for as long as Iran continues its aggression in the region and in the world.   (APPLAUSE)   Before lifting those restrictions, the world should demand that Iran do 3 things.   First, stop its aggression against its neighbors in the Middle East.   Second...   (APPLAUSE)   Second, stop supporting terrorism around the world.   (APPLAUSE)   And third, stop threatening to annihilate my country, Israel, the one and only Jewish state.'   [Obummer] claimed at the time not to have watched the speech, but said he read the transcript, so he is aware of Netanyahu's [much superior] alternative..."

Herbert Hoover, while an interventionist advocate of welfare pay-outs, predicted the perils of big government
"...The parameters for contemporary America were set after the 1932 election.   FDR, like [president Obummer] to his predecessor George W. Bush [a.k.a. Shrub], consistently blamed Hoover's policies for the nation's economic woes he confronted on his watch, no matter that Roosevelt continued many of Hoover's policies and no matter that none really brought about an end to hard times until intervention in World War 2.   To be sure, even philosopher-engineers had their heavenly city.   Hoover's was described in 1922 in a 72-page book, _American Individualism_, touted by a reviewer in The New York Times as 'among the few great formulations of American political theory.   It bears much the same relation to the problems of the present and the future that the essays of Hamilton, Madison, Jay, and Noah Webster bore to the problems that occupied men's minds when the Constitution was framed.'..."

little diversity in H-1B;
"In 2013, Infosys, an India-based 'IT' services firm [off-shoring and cross-border bodyshop], had 509 workers assigned to Apple sites in Cupertino, CA.   Of that number, 499 are listed as Asian, or 98%, with the remaining 10 identified as either white or black, according to government records.   Apple isn't the only firm with a disproportionate Infosys work-force.   Of the 427 Infosys workers at insurance giant Aetna's Hartford, CT, offices, 418 were identified in a court filing as Asian.   In the District of Columbia, where Infosys has developed a government-funded health-care platform, 63 out of 71 workers are Asian.   There are many other major employers that use Infosys with similarly large percentages of Asian workers, according to recently filed court documents in a Wisconsin federal law-suit by 4 'IT' workers alleging discrimination.   This lop-sided representation of Asian workers by 'IT' services firms is not limited to Infosys...   Nearly 86% of the H-1B visas issued by the U.S. [government] for workers in computer occupations are for people from India...   Many of these H-1B visa holders will work for an alternate universe of firms that primarily hire 'IT' workers from India.   In many instances these workers may be used to replace people such as Brian Buchanan, a former senior 'IT' worker at Southern California Edison (SCE).   Buchanan last month joined a law-suit filed earlier against Tata Consultancy Services in federal court, accusing the company of discrimination.   The claims in this law-suit, which were filed by the same legal team in the Infosys case in Wisconsin, are similar to what Infosys is now fighting...   Prior to his lay-off, Buchanan attended a job fair, organized by SCE for its soon-to-be terminated employees.   At the Tata booth, which was staffed with 'South Asians', Buchanan spoke with a Tata regional manager, who told him that the firm was hiring for jobs at SCE and elsewhere.   But the Tata manager 'was dismissive', the law-suit alleges.   In comparison, Buchanan 'observed that the Tata employees spent considerably more time speaking with South Asian applicants and spoke to them in Hindi about available positions'.   The law-suit against Tata alleges that the firm staffed SCE 'with an almost 100% South Asian workforce'.   It claims that about 95% of Tata's overall U.S.A. work-force is made up of South Asians...   'This demonstrates just how dominant the outsourcing companies have become.', said Russell Harrison, director of government relations at the IEEE-USA, of the number of H-1B visas that go to workers in computer occupations.   The IEEE has 60K members in India and 40K in China.   'If companies were looking around the world to find the best possible candidates for their jobs, you would expect a distribution that was similar to the distribution of engineers on the planet and that's not what you have.', said Harrison..."

Jeffrey Toobin says he will try to be even less honest, won't refer to illegal aliens or illegal immigrants
"...The first mass amnesty became law with the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, a name of such notorious inaccuracy that today's amnesty advocates insist that the reform bill they want would actually provide 'earned legalization'.   Their position is that 'amnesty' means unconditional relief.   They overlook the fact that many amnesties, like the one in which the IRS goes easy on tax scofflaws provided that they pay up, are earned.   That is to say that they are conditional.   The scholarly Toobin would have added an interesting layer to his essay if he had acknowledged that 'illegal immigrant' is a linguistic compromise in the interest of avoiding the long-standing term 'illegal alien'.   Under federal law, an immigrant is someone who is admitted for permanent residence in the United States -- a green card holder.   So the compromise involves a contradiction.   Technically, an immigrant can't have illegal immigration status any more than a citizen can be undocumented.   And the decision to classify people not as aliens, but as 'immigrants', has an important emotive effect.   It invokes the warm associations of 'immigrant' and banishes the rather 'cold' and 'official' 'alien'.   'Illegal immigrant', then is a euphemism, but one that doesn't go far enough for Toobin and his allies in the immigration language scuffles."

several more victims of illegal alien criminals, and nothing has been done to stop them
"Much of the media jerked back and forth like ill-controlled Punch and Judy puppets, wanting to share the public expressions of outrage, but also in their ridiculous politically correct way wanting somehow to avoid laying blame at the door-steps of either the alien 'migrants' or the sanctuary governments that let them walk free, leaving the journalists spinning and unsure of exactly how to portray events.   Here at the Center, we found that, for those interested in finger pointing, there was more than enough blame to go around -- not just with sanctuary governments, but also with an administration that has worked hard to gut credible immigration enforcement and with politicians who often bluster, but rarely muster the fortitude to actually get anything done legislatively.   A month has passed since Ms. Steinle's death and nothing meaningful has been accomplished.   The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to try to sell a watered-down, ineffectual, pick-what-you-like / dump-what-you-don't 'Priority Enforcement Program' to state and local governments; sanctuary cities unapologetically continue to thumb their noses at even those weak efforts; and no adequate legislative fix has been passed in either house of congress..."

surge of illegal alien invaders at USA borders is going mostly unseen
"Ronald Vitiello, the deputy U.S. Border Patrol chief, said the number of immigrant families captured at the border increased in July, bucking a downward trend that had taken shape earlier in the year that was supposed to relieve crowded conditions at detention centers.   He filed papers in federal court arguing that limiting detention puts a strain on Border Patrol efforts in the field.   There are likely even more border crossings than what has been documented by the government.   That's because, unlike last summer when more than 66K women and children massed at the border, there is less media attention focused on the border, and the Mexican cartels also have a new weapon -- transfer trucks.   'We're picking up articles here and there, but the pressure to suppress this news is at an all-time high after the embarrassment to the [Obummer regime] that came with the big surge last year.', said William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, or ALIPAC.   'One of the things that is happening is more of the illegal immigration is now rolling across the border on uninspected Mexican trucks, NAFTA trucks.', Gheen said, adding that new trade rules took effect this year that allow Mexican transfer trucks to penetrate beyond the commercial zone without regular inspections.   'We predicted this would be one of the largest surges in American history once the weather warms up.   These illegals are being housed, cleaned, medicated, given smartphones and transported.', Gheen said.   'They've stopped using the large buses as much as they did last year because we stopped them with demonstrations at Murrieta, California, and now they're transporting them in vans and unmarked vehicles.   The government's also paying church-based charities to house them.'..."

the "horse race" for president
"First off, the debate itself was a huge success for Fox News, being seen by over 24M Americans.   That makes it the highest viewed non-sports related cable program of all time -- and the highest rated cable news program ever.   Even the 'happy hour' debate drew a respectable 6.1M watchers -- not bad...   Beyond Trump, it also could indicate, again, a serious frustration with the governing status quo --and it's more than just conservative/Republican [dislike of the leftist agenda of the last 100 years].   People are fed up with the poor leadership of both parties and are looking for alternatives...   But will the eventual Republican victor go after the failed leadership of his (or her) own party?   Establishment Republicans have proven to be every bit as damaging to the concept of limited government as [Obummer] and the Democrats.   And people are fed up...   Carly's great at beating up on the Democrats, but the fact that she can verbally lash [Hitlery] won't convince skeptics that she's the real deal.   Mike Huckabee is also pretty good at zinging Hillary.   If Fiorina starts going after Mitch McConnell, on the other hand, people will start believing.   Many conservatives are probably waiting for her to start highlighting the deep problems in her own party -- and we're not just talking about [Yebbie Booosh] (note: she often talks about the 'political class' but doesn't name names).   The real political war isn't between the Republicans and Democrats.   It's between the conservative country folk and the corporate loving Republican establishment.   It's the Tea Party vs. country-clubbers who want to use the system to their advantage.   We have a Republican congressional leadership that isn't using its considerable power to fight [Obummer].   The defund Planned Parenthood issue demonstrates it -- again..."

ring-leader in murder by "Fast and Furious" arms of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry got off with a slap on the wrist
"Brian Terry, a member of an elite tactical unit, was killed on 2010 December 14, in a fierce fire-fight with a rip crew of [gangsters] who had been trying to rob Mexican drug traffickers.   In the aftermath of the shoot-out authorities learned that some of the weapons used to kill agent Terry were part of the infamous Fast and Furious operation.   Under this operation the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) was allowing Mexican cartel members to purchase weapons in order to trace them to their source.   Instead the agency lost thousands of weapons that fell into the hands of the Sinaloa Cartel.   According to court records obtained by Breitbart Texas, federal prosecutors asked that all of the charges against Rosario Rafael 'El Pariente' Burboa Alvarez be dismissed except for one and that the sentence be 360 months in prison with credit given for time served.   The story was initially reported by KVOA's Michel Marizco and Lupita Murillo..."

Border Patrol agent Brian Terry's killers are getting a pass from corrupt Obummer regime
"In the latest insult delivered by [president Obummer] to those who defend and serve the [United States of America] and its citizens, Rosario Rafael Burboa Alvarez, one of the criminal aliens indicted in the murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry -- pleaded guilty to murder, but has had all other charges against him dismissed.   Once a potential candidate for the death penalty after the murder of Brian Terry, according to Texas TV station KVOA, the plea deal now states that the U.S.A. and Burboa Alvarez will ask for 360 months imprisonment, with credit for time served since his arrest in 2012 October.   As part of the plea agreement, the United States agreed not to execute Burboa Alvarez and to dismiss all other charges against him, including charges of interfering with federal officers and killing Terry with 'malice aforethought' the second charge in the superseding indictment.   Terry was killed in a gunfight with a rip-off crew recruited by Burboa Alvarez and later two AK-47 variants found at the crime scene were identified as part of the notorious Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gun-walking operation, 'Operation Fast and Furious'.   The scandalous operation was supposed to link guns bought at a Phoenix-area gun-store to cartel [gangsters] trafficking the weapons to Mexico.   Instead, BATFE lost more than 2K of those weapons.   Resulting congressional investigations found that the men linked to the gun purchases were being monitored by different U.S. federal agencies like DEA, the FBI and BATFE, but agents weren't sharing the information with the other agencies.   This is important because as our friends at bearingarms.com noted, two of the guns recovered from the scene of the shootout and linked to Operation Fast and Furious, the BATFE gun smuggling plot that sent thousands of guns over the border to the Sinaloa drug cartel, at the same time that [Barack Hussein Obummer], then attorney-general Eric Holder, and then secretary of state Hillary Clinton were pushing the infamous '90% lie' in hopes of manufacturing public support for a ban on so-called 'assault weapons'.   The '90% lie' was an utterly false assertion that 90% of the firearms used by cartels in Mexico's drug wars came from gun shops the [United States of America].   The actual figure? Just 8% of guns in cartel hands were traced to the USA.   'Fast and Furious', says bearingarms.com, was just 1 of up to 10 weapon smuggling plots from the BATFE that may have shipped enough weapons to narco-terrorists to arm an infantry division 20K strong.   Our friend Sharyl Attkisson reports the Terry family issued a statement saying, 'While we are grateful another arrest has been made the fact that the suspect was in our country illegally is a sad and in this case deadly reminder that our border is not secure.'...   If Burboa Alvarez got 30-years then those responsible for the 'Fast and Furious' disaster and the lies perpetrated to cover it up ought the share the cell with him."

judge Andrew S. Hanen excused DHS chief Jeh Johnson, but DHS must still answer for unconstitutional and illegal amnesty activities
"...Judge Andrew S. Hanen had threatened to force Mr. Johnson to appear personally later this month to explain why thousands of tentative 3-year amnesty applications were approved in violation of the court's injunction, but after Homeland Security managed to recapture almost all of the erroneous amnesty cards, Judge Hanen relaxed his stance.   Still, the judge said the hearing will go ahead as slated on Aug. 19, and Mr. Johnson's lawyers will have to be ready to explain why they haven't completely solved the problem yet.   'The court does not consider mere substantial compliance, after an order has been in place for 6 months, to be acceptable and neither should counsel.', judge Hanen wrote in his order Tuesday.   Homeland Security officials have discovered 3 different sets of 3-year amnesty applications approved or sent out even after judge Hanen's Feb. 16 order halting the program.   The first totaled about 2,100, the second included about 500 and the final set, just revealed late last month, included about 50 others...   Under pressure from judge Hanen, Homeland Security scrambled to rescind the 2,600 [approval documents] from the first 2 sets, and managed to recover almost all of them, or to get assurances from the illegal immigrants that they were inadvertently lost or destroyed and couldn't be returned.   In 11 cases, the illegal immigrants refused all overtures, and Homeland Security revoked their amnesties, returning them to full illegal status -- though the department does not appear to be making moves to deport them..."

*** Obummer making treaty to let Iran develop nuclear weapons was no mistake; it was intentional ***
"...They are part of the president's planned agenda to fundamentally transform America by diminishing our stature and credibility.   It is another example of his misguided view that America must be humbled for the many 'problems we have caused' throughout the world.   [Obummer's] game plan on how to negotiate with the ayatollah Ali Khamenei had its genesis in the summer of 2008.   According to scholar and author Michael Ledeen, around the time when candidate [Barack Hussein Obummer] received the Democratic Party's nomination, he opened a secret communication channel with the Iranian theocracy.   The go-between was ambassador William G. Miller, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, who spoke fluent Farsi from his previous tours of duty in Tehran.   The message was, [in essence,] 'Don't sign an agreement with the Bush administration.   Wait until I am president -- you will get a much better deal! You will like my policies.   I am your friend.'   Here is a country that has cost thousands of American lives.   Furthermore, all Americans should never forget that it was Iran that provided the key material and training support to the 2001 September 11 hijackers...   our military is being forced to train the military forces of our potential enemies...   [abuse] of our military as a social engineering laboratory to advance [Obummer's] political and social agenda.   With regard to the promotion of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender life-style...   Clearly, the [Obummer regime] is attacking the American way of life from all aspects.   Our open border policy makes absolutely no sense.   We have anywhere from 11M to possibly as many as 30M illegal immigrants within our borders.   Sanctuary cities are also in clear violation of immigration laws...   The U.S.A. issues the treasured 'green card' to approximately [just over] 1M immigrants per year, most of whom are unskilled.   They are immediately entitled to numerous benefits at [tax-victims'] expense.   Congress must act to limit the number of green cards issued.   Releasing illegal immigrants from jail with criminal records is a deliberate affront to all Americans.   Seeding throughout the country Muslim immigrants who have no intent to assimilate is another affront and tears at the fabric of our society...   Compounding the immigration crisis, is the [Obummer regime's] inclination to divide Americans by race and class.   This is unconscionable.   You are either an American entitled to all the benefits that being an American conveys, or you are not.   Those are the only 2 classes.   The first one is sacred..."

Sundar Pichai's ascension at privacy-violator Google is not proof that "immigrants have made it"
"Sundar Pichai, set to become the new CEO of the Internet giant.   He joins not just the most powerful people in tech, but also a growing group of high-profile, Indian-born workers who have risen to their companies' highest ranks.   Satya Nadella became CEO of MSFT last year and Shantanu Narayen began leading Adobe in 2007.   Pichai's ascension is being hailed as an example of the virtues of Indian managers and a boon for Indians everywhere.   AnnaLee Saxenian, dean of the school of information at UC Berkeley, says it's an example of how the glass ceiling has lowered in the last 30 years.   'I think the fact that we have Indians now at the helm of Google and MSFT is a statement of how Indians have become part of the fabric of tech in the USA.', Saxenian says.   Through the 80s and 90s, Indians would be involved in startups but would not get promotions or, worse, would be replaced at the point of new companies receiving major funding.   In 1999, less than 10% of Silicon Valley startups were created by foreign-born entrepreneurs.   10 years later, more than a quarter have foreign-born founders, she says.   But it would be a mistake to focus on this narrative as proof that immigrants in America have 'made it', says sociologist Pawan Dhingra of Tufts University...   The H-1B 'specialty occupation' visa program was created in 1990...   Critics [point out] that too many companies use the H-1B visa program to deflate wages.   Disney, for example, came under fire in June for replacing 250 American workers with new hires from India.   [apples to aardvarks comparisons, but...]...   'They're not the normal distributions of Indians.'   It's important to remember the Punjabi motel owners, taxi drivers and farm laborers who are in California's peach canning industry a stone's throw from Silicon Valley -- if you are popping open a can, 'chances are an Indian hand has touched those peaches', Dhingra says...   [sponsored by] Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, Ford Foundation, Henry Luce Foundation, [Corporation for Socialist Broadcasting, i.e. USA tax-victims]."

"...The [Red Chinese] didn't even need to hack into OPM's poorly secured data-base to get the info, because some Chinese nationals help manage it.   The private e-mail server Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used, possibly illegally, to conduct official business, probably was hacked by hostile foreign intelligence services, said former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morrell.   Secrets from 5 U.S intelligence agencies were found in a random sample of just 40 of the roughly 33K e-mails Ms. Clinton turned over to the State Department, said inspectors general for the Intelligence Community and the State Department...   One central task of the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] is to secure our borders.   DHS isn't doing it.   Illegal immigrants comprise 3% of the population and, by some counts, 30% of the federal prison population.   We spent $1.87G to incarcerate violent illegal immigrant felons last year, according to freelance researcher Jay Bates.   Last year, DHS released into the general population 30,558 criminal aliens who among them had almost 80K convictions -- including 250 homicides, 386 kidnappings, 373 sexual assaults, 994 aggravated assaults. Violent felons released by DHS in 2013 committed 1K additional crimes..."

"George Orwell said, 'There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.'   If one wants to discover the truth of Orwell's statement, he need only step upon most college campuses.   Faculty leaders of the University of California consider certain statements racism and feel they should not be used in class.   They call it micro-aggression.   To them, micro-aggressive racist statements are: 'America is the land of opportunity.'   That is seen as perpetuating the myth of meritocracy.   'There is only one race, the human race.'   Such a statement is seen as denying the individual as a racial/cultural being.   'I believe the most [able and willing] person should get the job.'   That's 'racist' because it gives the impression that 'people of color are given extra unfair benefits because of their race'. These expressions don't exhaust the list of micro-aggressions. Other seemingly innocuous statements deemed unacceptable are: 'Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough.', 'When I look at you, I don't see color.', or 'Affirmative action is racist.'. Perhaps worst of all is, 'Where are you from or where were you born?'   For more of this, see a document released by The College Fix titled 'Diversity in the Classroom', UCLA Diversity and Faculty Development..."

1 thing you can do this week to improve Washington DC
"The old fashioned congressional 'town hall' meeting where your representative provides citizens with an opportunity to ask questions live and in person has nearly gone extinct after Democrats melting under the intense heat of citizen questions about [ObummerDoesn'tCare] helped power the 2010 Tea Party wave election and a historic defeat for Democratic House Members.   But there are still congressional town hall meetings being held, and we urge CHQ readers to attend one in their area and especially to ask questions about representative Mark Meadows' 'motion to vacate the Chair' and oust John Boehner as speaker.   When representative Meadows filed the motion just days before congress left DC for its traditional August recess (now laughably called the 'district work period') there was much speculation in the conservative blogosphere that Boehner's allies would quickly bury the motion or call a vote on it and embarrass Meadows when it went down in flames.   That didn't happen because Boehner's whip team could guarantee him that he would win such a vote (see Matt Boyle's great article detailing all the behind the scenes machinations on this) and that left Meadows' motion hanging out there unresolved when House members headed home ostensibly to hear from their constituents.   Our friends at Heritage Action have put together a very helpful list of congressional town hall meetings that will let you know where and when town hall meetings are scheduled.   As our friend principled limited government constitutional conservative Ken Cuccinelli outlined in an e-mail to friends of his Liberty Now PAC, you can help make this a reality.   You need to challenge your congressman or congresswoman to commit to vote right -- to remove Boehner as speaker and install a limited government constitutional conservative Speaker.   You should do this even if your representative is a Democrat.   Why, you ask? Because, by getting rid of speaker Boehner, both parties will become more relevant to the governing process.   What do I mean by that? Well, right now, Democrats (and conservative Republicans) generally aren't included in much of anything that deals with governance in the House of Representatives.   Because it's a majoritarian body (i.e., majority rules), if enough of the majority party sticks with their leadership [or, as now, losership], they simply set up rules to disallow Democrat and Conservative amendments to bills.   Of course, that means there's far less substantive discussion about what's best for America.   But the current Leadership doesn't seem too troubled by that...   So, Conservatives and Democrats will benefit from this change by obtaining increased access to the legislative process, as any successful candidate to succeed Boehner will have to promise a more open amendment process.   It doesn't mean their amendments will pass, but it does mean that they will at least get a chance to make their case.   America will benefit from a more open governing process that doesn't exist simply to hold power for the benefit of well-connected special interests.   We urge you take a look at our articles on representative Meadows' motion to vacate the Chair to familiarize yourself with how it works and then head to the nearest town hall meeting to demand that your representative support the Meadows motion and replace Boehner with a principled limited government constitutional conservative.   If your representative isn't having a town hall, but you wish to join CHQ's effort to help representative Meadows, we have made it simple to let your representative know that you want John Boehner removed as Speaker of the House, just sign our petition to second representative Meadows motion to vacate the Chair.   We will forward it to your representative on your behalf.   Here's the link to the Heritage Action list of town hall meetings again."

(1:43)...   Yes, I think so.   Mr. Trump has not laid out his plan yet, but he's certainly said enough to distinguish himself from the politically correct approach, that we have to be nice to [Red China] and help [Red China] in every possible way, not see them as a competitor who's closing in on us rather rapidly.   So, if Trump spells this out, it's a winning issue for him.'

Donald Trump finally lays out specifics, and on economics they're OK
"...He also endorses a worldwide system of taxation -- also known as a 'territorial' tax regime -- so U.S. companies don't have to pay the highest tax in the world on their over-seas income...   He also wants an import tax of at least 20% on foreign goods.   This tax could lead to a shut-down of international trading markets -- a modern version of the infamous Smoot Hawley tariffs that triggered the Great Depression by blockading world trade.   That's the wrong way to go for many reasons, not least of which is that U.S. exports are a major motor of our economy."
I have to disagree with IBD on these 2 points.   A "worldwide system of taxation" sounds extremely dangerous for some other power to manipulate against the USA.   The last I saw, the Shrub regime was claiming that imports into the USA were being taxed at an average of between 2% and 8% (different articles) while USA goods sent elsewhere faced import taxes averaging 48%.   That puts 20% right smack in the reasonable compromise middle...   The Smoot-Hawley tariffs were much higher, and they did not trigger the Great Depression but did make it worse.   But I would have aimed at something more like Herman Cain's 9%... and elimination of a lot of crony socialist exemptions.   It seems, reading Thomas.LoC.gov, that there are hundreds of them proposed in every session.

"Most of those H-1B visa holders work for [cross-border bodyshopping and off-shoring] companies, such as Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).   [Red China] was far behind in second place at just over 5% of H-1B visas for 'IT' occupations, and no other nation rose above 1%, according to [application approval] data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS].   About 76K H-1B visas were issued to people in computer occupations in 2014.   'IT' services companies 'apparently cannot get enough Indian programmers, which has little to do with a shortage of competent natives for these types of jobs, but a lot to do with the industry's business model', said B. Lindsay Lowell, director of policy studies at Georgetown University's Institute for the Study of International Migration.   The [cross-border bodyshopping and off-shoring] companies prefer to hire 'young H-1B programmers because the visa offers control over this contracted short-term work-force, it permits them to pay less than they would for experienced natives and they cultivate programmers who can better serve their clients after returning home to India', Lowell said.   The numbers are widely different when compared to H-1B visas for engineers, which includes electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical, aeronautical and other specialties.   In that category, Indian workers are still on top with 47% of the visas, or 8,103, followed by [Red China] with 19.5%; Canada, 3.4%; Korea 2.4%; Mexico, 2.2%; and Taiwan and Iran with 2.2% each, according to the government data..."

"...Texas and 25 other states are suing to overturn [Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal] unilateral change to U.S.A. immigration policy, announced in November.   The initiative is designed to shelter 5M [illegal aliens] from deportation and provide them with 3-year work permits...   The case is Texas v.

foreign workers in UK reach 2M (4% above last year) as UK unemployment rate rises
"According to the Official for National Statistics, estimates by nationality show that between 2014 April to June and 2015 April to June, the number of UK nationals working in the UK increased by 84K to reach 27.76M, while the number of non-UK nationals working in the UK increased by 257K to reach 3.18M.   ITV News notes there are 973K workers now in the United Kingdom who were born in 8 'A8' eastern European countries, including Poland and the Czech Republic.   Commenting on the figures, Lord Green of Deddington, chairman of Migration Watch UK said: 'The number of EU workers has now topped 2M for the first time and over 1M of these are from Eastern Europe.   Clearly the government is going to have to get a grip of EU migration if it wants to bring overall numbers down.'   The change in the past 18 years is also stark.   Between 1997 April to June and 2015 April to June, the number of non-UK nationals working in the UK increased from 966K to 3.18M, and the proportion of all people working in the UK accounted for by non-UK nationals increased from 3.7% to 10.3%.   The ONS also reveals that between 2014 April to June and 2015 April to June, the number of non-UK nationals from the European Union (EU) working in the UK increased by 250K to reach 1.98M, and the number of non-UK nationals from outside the EU working in the UK was little changed at 1.20M..."

"...Perhaps we should expect no more from the New Yorker, whose [leftist] sensibility is apparent in every issue.   But I would like to think that the other side of the immigration debate, the side comprising those who want enforcement of immigration laws, should get a fair hearing.   That would be conducive to the sort of rigorous, probing, nuanced analysis that best serves our national debates.   But Toobin's fixation on his [leftist] view apparently has blinded him to the conservative view...   [To paraphrase one of his own statements on CNN] Well, explanatory reporting these days, especially in the New Yorker, is a very political act.   This reporter was very carefully chosen by the editors.   He is a known [leftist] analyst who has been hostile to those who think that by focusing entirely on the concerns of illegal immigrants and their defenders, he is missing half of a very big story."

record $2.672414T for FY2015 so far (October through July; $17,954.94/employed person), over-spending still generated $465.539G deficit
accounting games have frozen "debt subject to limit" at $18.112975T for 150 days
"...'The total federal debt consists of debt held by the public and intragovernmental debt', the CRS said in another report published in 2011.   'Debt owed to the public represents borrowing from entities other than the federal government, and includes borrowing from state and local governments, the Federal Reserve System, and foreign central banks, as well as private investors in the United States...   Intragovernmental debt', said CRS, 'consists in debt owed by one part of the federal government to another, which are mostly held in trust funds.'   The net effect of the Treasury's actions is that although the publicly held debt of the government continues to fluctuate -- as the Treasury redeems maturing debt held by the public and issues new debt held by the public -- the overall debt subject to the limit set by congress closes each business day at $18,112,975,000,000 [$18.113T].   Back on March 13, the debt held by the public was $13,083,880,000,000 [$13.08T] and the intragovernmental debt was $5,068,578,000,000 [$5.07T] according to the Daily Treasury Statement.   By the close of business on August 10, also according to the Daily Treasury Statement, the debt held by the public had increased by $37,043,000,000 [$37.04G] to $13,120,923,000,000 [$13.12T], and the intragovernmental debt had decreased by $38,260,000,000 [$38.26G] to $5,030,318,000,000 [$5.03T]..."

corrupt, power-mad Obummer EPA administrator, Gina McCarthy, the non-existent "climate change" affects "everything and everyone we love", including our ability to secure a livelihood
"According to research done by the policy institute, the regulation would result in the shuttering of 66 coal plants and the loss of 125,800 jobs.   The research also found that coal generation would be reduced by 48%.   According to American Coalition of Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), using data from the federal Energy Information Administration, coal resources in the United States represent one-quarter of the world's total coal supply.   The U.S.A. has more than 260G tons of coal reserves and currently uses about 925M tons of coal a year.   At this rate, the U.S. coal supply would last for 280 years, according to ACCCE."

This morning, for president of the USA, I'm liking (1) Mark Levin, (2) Jeff Sessions, (3) Michelle Malkin, (4) Thomas Sowell, (5) Tom Tancredo, (6) Ann Coulter, (7) Ken Blackwell, (8) Rick Santorum, (9) Scott Walker, (10) Ted Cruz, (10) Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, Rand Paul, Tom Cotton, Rick Perry, Ben S. Carson, John Kasich, Carly Fiorina, Alan Keyes, but at this stage the preference order is likely to change with the next corroborated bit of news that comes by. I'm disappointed that none of the candidates consistently and sincerely favors secure borders and reasonable measures to do that, reduction of visas to manageable numbers, reduction of guest- and other work visas to admit only the very best and brightest top 0.001% from around the world, elimination of "visa waivers", proper background investigations of visa applicants, determined and consistent efforts to find and sufficiently penalize employers of illegal aliens, determined and consistent efforts to discover and sufficiently penalize and discourage nation-state and industrial espionage, overall reductions in federal government spending, ending government funding of Planned Parenthood and CPB/NPR and NEAH and AFI and Solyndra and Tesla Motors..., eliminating the Export-Import Bank, de-funding the UN and IMF and World Bank, auditing the Federal Reserve System, replacing income extortion with a reasonably limited sales tax and import tariff, using effective means to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons, using effective means to undermine North Korea's and Red China's nuclear weapons and delivery systems...

Obummer regime's chaotic immigration policies and processes bring trouble on 2 horizons
"The [Obummer] White House is finally beginning to feel the consequences of cause and effect where its immigration policies are concerned.   Like a paralysis-inducing spider wasp laying its eggs into its prey, it has pretty much cowed our congressional leaders into crippling inactivity in the face of its onslaught of legally dubious 'executive actions'.   But the third branch of our tripartite federal system, the judiciary, has taken action in two different directions and begun to clamp down on the administration's policies.   On the west coast, a U.S. District Court judge has ordered an end to detention of families and unaccompanied minors, spelling potential catastrophe for the administration's game of laundering such individuals through a period of lockdown, followed by resettlement with notional orders to appear at hearings, which the majority simply ignore.   This is a potential game changer in the run-up to the presidential elections, because a repeated land-based tsunami of aliens proving the existence of an out-of-control southern border will not bode well for any candidate advocating anything remotely like open borders or a broad-based amnesty.   In southern Texas, another U.S. District Court judge continues moving inexorably toward a show-cause hearing on August 19 [Wednesday], in which the administration will be forced to explain publicly why it was either unwilling or unable to comply with his order enjoining the government's plans to extend and enlarge the pool of illegal aliens being granted 'lawful status' and work permits to remain in the United States indefinitely, in 3-year increments..."

widespread anti-semitic vandalism in NW San Antonio TX
"In northwest San Antonio, residents woke up on Wednesday morning to find the widespread anti-Semitic vandalism right at their door-steps.   Approximately 30 homes, city structures, vehicles and Congregation Rodfei Sholom, the Jewish synagogue, were the targets of hateful spray-painting and other acts of vandalism...   Although R' Scheinberg was in disbelief and heart-broken, he told news crews, 'Hate is something that happens in every generation, wherever it happens to be, but so does love.   And love will overpower hate and the good will destroy the evil.'   He also received an outpouring of support from local church leaders like San Antonio-based pastor John Hagee from Cornerstone Church, who came to the synagogue immediately.   'An attack on the synagogue is an attack on every Christian church in this city.', Hagee told news media.   He urged San Antonio police and residents to do everything they can to bring those responsible to justice.   Wednesday evening, Hagee alerted Christians United for Israel (CUFI) members of the incident by e-mail blast.   He called this 'anti-Semitic attack and assault on both Christians and Jews.   This act of hatred is an affront on all people of faith.   Anti-Semitism is an abomination and we must unequivocally confront it whenever and wherever it is found.'...   In 2014, the ADL recorded a 21 percent increase in anti-Semitic acts committed in the U.S.A. from the year before.   Of the 912 anti-Semitic incidents last year, 5 were reported in the ADL's Southwest Region, the majority which happened in the Houston..."

"Among the most interesting -- and in my mind the clear winner of the first debate -- was Carly Fiorina.   She was optimistic overall, assertive without being aggressive, knowledgeable without being wonky, and clearly articulated the vast difference between progressivism and conservatism.   Fiorina, echoing Ronald Reagan and Jeane Kirkpatrick, was firm on foreign policy and articulated her understanding of the importance of American leadership: 'When America does not lead, the world is a dangerous and a tragic place.'   Channeling Margaret Thatcher, and her rise from a grocery girl, Fiorina talked about her background as a secretary, and then translated the policy of conservatism into human rather than economic terms.   'I am a conservative because I believe no one of us is any better than any other one of us.', she said.   '[Regressives, leftists] don't believe that.   They believe some are smarter than others, some are better than others, so some are going to need to take care of others.'   Finally, she laid out clearly the problem of too much government and the reality versus the intent of large government institutions.   'We have arrived at a point in our nation's history where the potential of this nation and too many Americans is being crushed by the weight, the power, the cost, the complexity, the ineptitude, the corruption of the federal government.'..."

want to protect your privacy? sign onto this supreme court brief
"Disgraced former IRS official Lois Lerner targeted conservative and Tea Party groups and their donors for abuse.   She has yet to be held accountable and punished by the legal system.   Now, ultra-left-wing, Planned Parenthood supporter California attorney-general Kamala Harris (pictured), a candidate for U.S. senate, is telling non-profit organizations they can't speak to donors in her state unless they fork over the names and addresses of their top donors to her so she can investigate them and your organization if she wants.   For conservative and Tea Party groups and their donors, this is like the land-mark Supreme Court case NAACP v. Alabama, where the state attorney-general demanded the membership list of the NAACP.   The Supreme Court decided that the danger of abuse and harassment violated the 'right of association' guaranteed by the First Amendment.   Your organization can do something about this latest attempt to violate privacy and the right of association by signing onto an 'amicus' brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to tell Kamala Harris that she is acting unconstitutionally and illegally.   Below is a clip from the amicus brief to be filed with the Supreme Court describing how Lois Lerner 'collaborated' with state officials like Kamala Harris who 'over-see' non-profit organizations.   Your conservative or Tea Party organization may sign on to this brief as a 'co-amicus' (friend of the court).   To get a copy and to sign on to this brief, which will be filed later in August, contact constitutional lawyer Mark FitzGibbons...   Here is a clip from the amicus brief to be filed in the case Center for Competitive Politics v.

"In the school districts where our respondents lived, the expenditures per pupil came to $12,440 per pupil in 2012, the last year for which information is available.   But when we asked respondents to estimate per-pupil expenditures in their local school district, they guessed, on average, just $6,307, little more than half actual spending levels.   In other words, the public is badly mis-informed, very probably because the main-stream media does such a poor job of telling people how much money is actually being spent on their schools...   We also discovered that people are a lot less likely to support higher pay for teachers once they find out current salary levels.   According to NCES, teacher salaries, excluding pension, medical and other benefits, in the states where our respondents live come to $57,058, on average.   But the public estimate of teacher salaries in their state comes to just $38,294, about two-thirds of the actual salary level that the average teacher is paid.   IOW, people seriously under-estimate how well teachers are being paid..."

Chikungunya, mosquito-borne virus has been found again in Texas
"There is no treatment or vaccine for infection by the virus but the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, has reported that an experimental vaccine has been found to protect monkeys from the Chikungunya virus.   The first locally acquired case of Chikunhunya in the states was reported in Florida on July 17th.   The fever was found for the first time in the Americas in late 2013, on islands in the Caribbean.   The fever is similar to dengue fever and is most prevalent in Africa, India, southeastern Asia, Europe, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans.   It is transmitted to humans by 2 species of mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus...   There are [at least 5] mosquito-borne diseases -- Chikungunya, Dengue Fever, West Nile Virus, [yellow fever, and malaria]."

dropping atom bombs 70 years ago was necessary to end WW2
"When the war finally ended on 1945 Aug. 15, I felt I had received a reprieve after having, in effect, been on a death row since mid-July when we got orders that our landing ship would be in the first assault wave in the first landing on a Japanese mainland island.   We were to land on the east coast of Kyushu, just south of the city of Miyazaki, on 1945 Nov. 1.   After reading the intelligence annex of the operation plan, I was stunned.   I had to conclude that, after having just turned 23, I most probably, had only three and a half months to live.   The most frightening intelligence was that the Japanese had 5K kamikaze aircraft (it turned out that they actually had 12,700).   This most got my attention, since earlier our landing ship came within 30 seconds of being destroyed by one.   In fact, I could see the pilot's face before he was shot down.   Our group had lost two of its 6 ships to kamikazes on a single morning.   During the 83 day Okinawa campaign, kamikazes killed nearly 5K Navy personal..."

a grim suggestion about the young Central American illegal aliens now in the USA
"...In short, most of these young males in that Arlington,Va., courtroom were, in a specialized sense, members of a Central American elite: they were young enough and strong enough and adventurous enough to make their way illegally to the United States.   This was in contrast to three other sets of young males in Central America: the children of the local establishment, a small group; a larger group of gang members; and those who were too under-motivated, or too poor, or too sick to attempt to leave the country.   It struck me that I was looking at the very kind of people who staff change -- even revolutions -- around the world; and we, the United States, have lifted the lid from the pressure cooker in their home countries by removing those potential change agents from those nations...

John Stossel's information about immigration could use more focus and context
"Anyone who debates an open-borders advocate can expect to be hit with a barrage of 'factoids' -- pro-immigration claims that contain some element of truth, but that obscure the broader picture.   That's exactly what columnist Ann Coulter encountered when she debated immigration with John Stossel, a libertarian talk-show host.   One of Stossel's factoids was particularly misleading.   Here's part of his own summary of the debate: 'Coulter says that the new immigrants don't assimilate the way Europeans did.   Maybe that's true, but I pointed out that immigrants from Nigeria, Jamaica, and Ghana are more likely to be employed than native-born Americans and twice as likely to get a college degree.   I don't believe it., answered Coulter.   (Emphasis added.)'   Coulter was right to be skeptical.   The following table shows that all 3 groups are indeed more likely than natives to be employed.   However, only Nigerian immigrants, not Jamaicans or Ghanaians, are substantially more likely to have a college degree...   The problems with the factoid don't end there.   Stossel purports to show that new immigrants surpass natives economically, but the three immigrant groups he chose -- call them 'the Stossel Three' -- are just 2.7% of the adult foreign-born population.   If Stossel wanted to make a point about immigrant economic success, why didn't he illustrate it with the most common immigrant nationalities?   Probably because he would no longer have a point.   As the table indicates, 28% of all adult immigrants in the United States are from Mexico, but just 6% of Mexican immigrants have a college degree.   Furthermore, employment and education do not provide a complete economic picture, especially for immigrants.   In modern America, employment is not an automatic ticket out of poverty, as the fourth column in the table shows.   Adult immigrants, including those from the Stossel Three, are more likely to be in or near poverty compared to natives.   Even a college degree is not a guarantee of prosperity for immigrants, since skills may not transfer easily between countries.   (We've all heard the stories about immigrant taxi drivers with PhDs.)   Moreover, with accreditation systems that are weak or non-existent, many colleges in developing countries are of very low quality.   Perhaps this helps explain why, according to the last column of the table, more than one-third of Nigerian-headed households use welfare despite the large share with a college education.   Finally, immigrants from the Stossel Three are not representative of their compatriots back home.   Nigeria, Jamaica, and Ghana are poor countries and only a select few are able to immigrate.   If we had open borders, which appears to be Stossel's position, a far poorer and less educated group of immigrants than the Stossel Three would likely arrive.   The bottom line is that immigrants vary enormously in their economic success here in America.   Countries such as India generally send [people with a narrow set of skills of no definite level] to the [United States of America], while Mexico sends mostly unskilled workers.   Factoids about 3 minor sending countries serve only to mislead about the overall effect of immigration.   If we want the most successful immigrants that Stossel touts, we need a careful, limited selection system -- not open borders."
Then there's the likelihood that a lot fewer native US citizens would be unemployed or under-employed if the flood of cheap, young, pliant foreign labor with flexible ethics were cut off.

home-grown Muslim terrorism is being fueled by Obummer+Shrub immigration system
"In a letter posted to various [Obummer regime] officials senators Jeff Sessions and Ted Cruz on Wednesday asked the question we've been asking (alternate link) since it was revealed that the Muslim Boston Marathon bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were welcomed into the United States as 'refugees' and given welfare and other government benefits during their youthful inculcation in radical Islamist thought and terrorist tactics.   'We would like to understand more about these individuals, and others similarly situated in recent history, and the nexus between terrorism and our immigration system.'   Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), chairman of the senate Judiciary committee's sub-committee on Immigration and the National Interest, and senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), chairman of the Judiciary committee's sub-committee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts, sent the letter to Obama Administration officials with responsibility for immigration and terrorism.   The letter addresses the large number of persons inside the United States involved with ISIS and other Islamic terror organizations whose presence in the United States results from [Obummer and Shrub] immigration policy.   And the Cruz - Sessions letter wasn't just a 'drive by' political point-maker or media ploy; it asks for detailed information on the immigration history, including family immigration history, of 72 individuals involved with or sentenced for terrorist activity in just the last year alone (pdf).   And remember, this is just one year's worth of Muslim terrorists operating here in the United States.   During the time the Tsarnaevs came to America, from 2000 to 2013 (the last year for which statistics are available) some 2,338,013 legal immigrants arrived in America from Muslim countries [an average of 14K/month].   Why does America need over 2.3M Muslim immigrants?   What is the benefit to America?   Moreover, what are the risks?   Which government agency is vetting who arrives, who gets to stay and who qualifies for US citizenship?   [No one is doing proper background investigations of visa applicants.]   Transferring murder, mayhem and radicalism from dysfunctional Islamic countries to Europe and America, and in so doing voluntarily putting our own citizens at great risk is not a requirement of being a compassionate, open-minded, enlightened and tolerant human being...   Islam, as it is today practiced by millions of Muslims across the globe, is inimical to the separation of church and state, and [to] government based on constitutional liberty.   We are in a war of ideas, not just with radical Islamists, but with concepts deeply embedded in Muslim culture.   And as long as mass legal (and illegal) immigration from Muslim countries continues unabated we are losing that war.   Which leads us to ask, why would we bring these vipers to America and PAY THEM to stay here?"

challenge to Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal amnesty for illegal aliens is headed to the supremes: next step in sheriff Joe Arpaio's law-suit
"...Is there hope the Supreme Court will stand up against growing tyranny to protect our Constitution? Even that hope is rapidly vanishing.   I founded Judicial Watch in 1994 and later founded Freedom Watch with the goal of challenging the perversion of our nation's laws, fighting government corruption and promoting transparency of government to the people.   But I believed back then that there was still some chance left that some judges would stand up against lawlessness.   Now, we wonder if America has sunk too low already.   When the Supreme Court openly behaves like a political focus group instead of a studied panel of learned judges, even federal judges with integrity are bound to follow the winds blowing through the top court.   It is important to recognize that the courts have not made any actual decision on the substance or 'merits' of Arpaio's law-suit.   Abuses of 'standing' -- invented by judges -- are used to side-step challenges to government abuse and over-reach.   This is a routine and disturbing pattern.   The courts just avoid making any decision at all..."

"Feed-back also needs to be specific.   It is not helpful to say, 'That was stupid.', 'You'll never be good at that.', or even, 'Great job!'.   It is helpful to say, 'You turned left when you should have turned right.', or, 'When you softened your voice and smiled, it was easier to listen to you.'.   The description of behavior is what is necessary, not evaluation...   We often mistake the nature of the mission of the prophet, assuming that it is to predict the future.   But that is certainly not the mission of the great biblical prophets.   Rather, their mission was, in our terms, to give constructive feed-back to the people, pointing out their faults and guiding them in a more positive direction.   The false prophet not only gives false guarantees about the future, complacently predicting peace and tranquility, but assures the people that they are doing nothing wrong, that they need not change their behavior.   The false prophet gives no feed-back..."

Red Chinese thugocracy fears revolution by workers who moved from the boonies to work in factory cities as employment drops and equities and money markets drop
"A 250M Chinese are employed in export industries, and last month's 8.3% plunge in exports threatened the loss of 16.6M jobs.   [Red China's] economic success attracted 252M workers [who moved] from the countryside as city wages rose by 10% per year for a decade.   But now that population is in danger of losing their economic life-line -- and could prove politically volatile.   [Red China] has a total population of 1.35G and a work-force of 764.2M people.   About 359.14M are employed in the urban environment and 405M are employed in rural areas, mostly still in agriculture.   But 252.78M urban workers are rural migrant laborers, with 158.63M working outside their distant home provinces...   The official June unemployment rate in urban China stood at 4.1% since 2011.   The official number of unemployed persons is 9.2M.   But that number does not necessarily include the rural hukou who have been working in cities as migrants...   Since [the people who moved from rural area have only temporary work permits to work for a particular company], they have virtually no access to 'social welfare' or unemployment benefits if they are laid off.   With no benefits for migrants filing for unemployment, [and official unemployment rates based on applicants for unemployment insurance benefits rather than population samples, Red China's] unemployment rate is severely under-stated.   [Red China] claims to have a $10.3T GDP, but many analysts believe the number is inflated.   There is good data that [Red China] exports $2.1T and imports only $1.4T a year.   Analysts expected [Red China's] July export numbers to only drop by 1%, after growing by 2.8% in June.   However, the data revealed that demand from the Europe Union, [Red China's] biggest trading partner, crashed by 2.3%.   [Red China] announced a year ago that it would be changing the hukou system over the next 6 years to give 100M rural hukou permanent urban residence rights..."

idiot-car hacker found flaws in GM, Mercedes, BMS & Chrysler systems
"[IdiotPhone] applications that work with those automobiles have the same problem that GM's RemoteLink app did and could potentially be exploited to give hackers full control over critical functionality, he explained in a follow-up interview to Ars Technica, a technology web-site.   The 'OwnStar' has to be custom built and then physically affixed to a targeted vehicle.   Once that much is accomplished, however, Mr. Kamkar says it's not that difficult for a hacker to gain remote access over the auto.   The box contains a Wi-Fi hotspot that's configured to trick the RemoteLink phone app into establishing a connection; once the devices begin communicating, the OwnStar exploits a security flaw involving the way user credentials are sent from the app to GM's servers in order to capture that data and pass it to the person running the malicious Wi-Fi network.   Not only did the exploit work with the RemoteLink for OnStar, but an updated version of his tool can take advantage of the same vulnerability in the BMW Remote, Mercedes-Benz mbrace and Chrysler's Uconnect services on Apple iOS devices, Ars Technica reported..."

This afternoon, for president of the USA, I'm liking (1) Mark Levin, (2) Jeff Sessions, (3) Michelle Malkin, (4) Thomas Sowell, (5) Tom Tancredo, (6) Ann Coulter, (7) Rick Santorum, (8) Scott Walker, (9) Ted Cruz, (10) Ken Blackwell, (11) Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Ben S. Carson, Donald Trump, Tom Cotton, Carly Fiorina, Rick Perry, Alan Keyes, but at this stage the preference order is likely to change with the next corroborated bit of news that comes by.
